Sorry (found your post a bit ambiguous). Yes those rules would allow "level
2" to be downloaded. It really depends on how the site is structured, which
is a little hard to determine from your post.
Try reading the help page about filters:
<http://httrack.kauler.com/help/Filters>
If the site uses proper folder structure as levels, then something like this
might work (just depends on the site's URLs):
-www.site.com/*/*
+www.site.com/level1/*
